    Application

    Abietic acid is used as a precursor in the preparation of petrochemical curing agents.[5][6] It is used in the synthesis of dehydroabietic acid derivatives, that exhibit antitumor, antimycotic, and antiviral activities.[7] It can also be used as a starting material in the total synthesis of (−)-triptolide[8] and (+)-amberketal.[9]
